چکیده

To achieve a better trade-off between robustness and imperceptibility, a blind watermarking algorithm based on QR decomposition and voting for color image in DWT domain is proposed in the paper. Most of the existing QR decomposition based watermarking schemes take the first row of R matrix into consideration while in our approach the watermark is embedded by modifying the first column element of Q matrix. In the embedding process, DCT is applied to the R, G and B color components, respectively. Then DWT is utilized on the DCT coefficients of each component and acquire corresponding LL, HL, LH, and HH. Later, the associated DWT coefficients in LH and HH are decomposed with QR decomposition and the watermark message is embedded into the first column of Q matrix by changing Q21 and Q31 with stable characteristic. In the extraction phase, a redundant watermark scheme with voting method is used to improve the robustness of the watermarking algorithm. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm, compared with the existing methods is robust enough to resist common signal attacks including filtering, noising, small cutting and JPEG compressing.

Research on Color Watermarking Algorithm Based on RDWT-SVD

In this paper, a color image watermarking algorithm based on Redundant Discrete Wavelet Transform (RDWT) and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) is proposed. The new algorithm selects blue component of a color image to carry the watermark information since the Human Visual System (HVS) is least sensitive to it. To increase the robustness especially towards affine attacks, RDWT is adopted for its...

Blind Color Image Watermarking Based on DWT and LU Decomposition

In watermarking schemes, the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is broadly used because its frequency component separation is very useful. Moreover, LU decomposition has little influence on the visual quality of the watermark. Hence, in this paper, a novel blind watermark algorithm is presented based on LU transform and DWT for the copyright protection of digital images. In this algorithm, the co...

A Novel Color Image Watermarking Scheme Based on DWT and QR Decomposition

A novel color image watermarking scheme based on DWT (Discrete Wavelet Transform) and QR decomposition is proposed to embed color watermark image into color host image. Firstly, the each component of the color host image is transformed by one-level DWT, and further divided to 4 4 non-overlapping pixel blocks. Then, each selected pixel block is decomposed by QR decomposition and the first row el...
